This is actually pretty easy to fix and doesn't take any coding:

1.Click on the Plots tab above the console. 2.Then at the top right corner of the plots screen click on the options button. 3.Lastly uncheck the "Mute inline plotting" button

Now re-run your script and your graphs should show up in the console.

Cheers.
